{Simone Faure’s Our Crack Pie}
If you were assigned to bring the pie for Thanksgiving, you’re either the family baker (We should all be so lucky to have one.), or you can be relied on to hit up a local bakery to supplement your lackluster kitchen skills.
This year, shake up your traditional offering, be it your homemade pumpkin pie or Marie Callender’s, and experiment with some of these pie recipes. You may just find a new family favorite. Not a pie person? We’ve got tons of other great desserts to tempt every palate. And remember, while practice makes perfect, when it comes to baked goods, practice makes lots of friends, too.
